    Guess this is a new slant on a car boot sale - on a boat instead! The Dorsoduro area of Venice has several boat shops like this - near the big Frai church I think it was.

    What To Buy: Bric-a-brac and antiques

    As well as the markets of Rialto selling fish you can stumble across little stalls in the back streets - this one we passed as we crossed Canareggio towards Campo Santa Maria Nuova.

    Cake Shops: Dolci Tipici

  • Name of Shop: Cake Shops

    Along the Strada Nouve there are many tempting cake shops displaying their array of tasty looking sweet cakes and pastries.

    What To Buy: Too many to choose from - the ones with pistacchio nuts in looked wonderful but the one I sampled was almost like a lemon meringue pastry that just melted in the mouth - nearly choked on the copious amount of icing sugar coating on it though!

    What To Pay: 2-3 euros, not expensive
